unarmed combatants in the world. He has mastered numerous martial arts
and is one of the world's leading experts at "savate" (French-style kick-boxing). He is an accomplished thief and smuggler with extensive
military training. Batroc is an Olympic level weightlifter and is capable of lifting about 500 lbs. He is also bilingual (French and English). Batroc currently carries a pair of whip-canes, which he also uses with great skill.Other InfoGeorges Batroc was born in Marseille, France. Once he grew up, Batroc served in the French Foreign Legion. During this time, Batroc trained himself in "savate" (French-style kick-boxing). At one point, he left the Foreign Leagion, and began to sell his services to the highest bidder as a costumed mercenary as, Batroc the Leaper. Although
originally working alone, he at time would recruit
fellow rogues and criminals when a job required, forming his "Batroc’s Brigade." (To learn about the different Batroc's Brigades, just click on their name above.)Batroc the Leaper's mercenary adventures often led him into criminal activities, which led to him clashing with many costumed crime fighters, such as Punisher, Spider-Man, Deadpool, Hawkeye, Iron Fist, Gambit, and most notably Captain America. In fact, Batroc first battled Captain America when he was hired by HYDRA
to steal the Inferno 42 cylinder (the most destructive element of all time--the cylinder could lay waste to the entire island of Manhattan). However, he was defeated by Captain America. (To learn about all the above highlighted characters and/or team, just click on their names.)Soon afterward, Batroc was again hired by HYDRA, but this time to kidnap Sharon Carter. This lured Captain America into a rematch, which Batroc insisted that HYDRA not intervene. However, when HYDRA agents
prepared to kill both Captain America and himself, Batroc stated they were men
without honor. (Bartoc the Leaper, at heart, was an honorable man who
staunchly lived by the "Way of the Warrior.") Therefore, after HYDRA's interference with their fight, Batroc actually switched sides and helped Captain America against HYDRA. (Click on the highlighted name above to learn about Sharon Carter.) At one point, an alien named Jakar (concealing his true nature and intent) hired Batroc and his Brigade to abduct children from New York and to battle Captain America and Falcon.
Batroc felt no guilt about abducting children; however, upon
learning Jakar's true nature and his intent to use the children's souls
to revive his comatose race, he felt his sense of honor had been
violated by the deception. Therefore, Batroc the Leaper again switched sides and aided Captain
America and the Falcon to rescue the children. (To learn about the Falcon, click on the highlighted name above.)Later on, Batroc joined forces with Mister Hyde
and attempted an extortion scheme against Manhattan. During their scheme, Batroc battled
Captain America; however, when Mister Hyde decided to carry out the
threat (which would kill thousands), Batroc, again showed that there
were some
lines he wasn't willing to cross, and aided Captain America against Mister Hyde. Thus, saving the
city. (To learn about Mister Hyde, click on the highlighted name

Batroc the Leaper was later seen among the villains hired by Klaw for his invasion on Wakanda. During the invasion, the Rhino, Radioactive Man, and others along with the Klaw's troops battled at the front lines, while Batroc and Klaw went after Queen Mother Ramonda. The two took Ramonda hostage, intending to get to the Black Panther (T'Challa). However, the Black Panther (S'Yan) and a couple of Dora Milaje (daughters of rival tribes who serve T'Challa as bodyguards) intervened and the two groups engaged in battle where Klaw's forces lost. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about he characters, place, and/or team. Also, Batroc during his time in Wakanda is shown in the fifth picture posted above.)At one point, Batroc had a daughter. When she grew older, she teamed up with the daughter of another super villain named Tarantula. Both daughters took on their fathers' respective costumes and titles. Unfortunately, the Taskmaster
beat and killed both of their daughters during a battle. (To learn about the above highlighted characters, just click on their names.)Much later, Batroc the Leaper served in Baron Zemo's Thunderbolts. However, after returning to federal custody, Batroc registered with the Superhuman Registration Act. He was then sent to a superhuman training facility where he trained recruits in martial arts.

More recently, Batroc has found government work unsatisfactory and has returned to his life of mercenary/criminal activities.
